ExplicitPodcast 2.6 - What is progressive? | What is progressive in terms of cooking? Is it molecular? Is it looking back to move forward? Is it a bong full of whiskey? This was our topic on this podcast, which was graciously hosted by Eddie Lau. (hotfoodporn.com) Amy Brown was there, as well as Katrina Dixon. (@ramekinparty) There was food, and booze, and laughs. Things were pretty loose for, oh, 15 minutes or so...but its all entertainment. Enjoy. Opening music is Mullet Head by The Beastie Boys | 11/17/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast 2.5 - Jon Bonne and Kevin Kelley - Wine! | We've only done a couple of off site podcasts, but this was the first time we left the 415 altogether. Amy and I had an interesting drive up to Santa Rosa, where we hung out at Salinia with wine maker Kevin Kelley and wine writer Jon Bonne. There is an absurd amount of information crammed into this podcast...If you cook, and you feel like you dont understand wine as much you would like, this might help. And of course, we cap it off with plenty of sillyness at the end. Opening music is "Damaged Goods" by Gang of Four. | 11/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast 2.4 - Tablehopper. | The best podcasts we do are the ones where almost nothing is planned, everyone loses track of time, and the conversation flows the whole time. This is certainly one of those podcasts. Marcia Gagliardi, (who writes Tablehopper) was our guest this time around. Also at the table was Eddie Lau (of Hot Food Porn) and Corey Nead. Marcia spoiled us with cheese, sparkling wine, and manhattans...and mixed the drinks out of her very awesome vintage executair traveling bar.

ExplicitPodcast 2.3 - Hot Food Porn meets Porn - Eddie vs Violet | Well, i've never recorded a disclaimer for my podcast, but I suppose it was only a matter of time. This is certainly something different for us--a podcast centered around sex, and it's relation to food. There is little talk of restaurants, or professional cooking. But what you lose there you make up for in fun, interesting content. So dont be a prude. Give it a listen.

ExplicitPodcast 2.2 - Just the Two of Us. | Here's a change. Instead of last season's multi-guest podcasts, this time around it was just Amy and I. We've only done two other podcasts like this (with Corey and Speez) but they have a nice feel to them. Topics this time around were changes in kitchen dynamics when cooks and chefs leave, cooking for self vs cooking for the guest, chef cliches, and many twitter questions answered. 3:35 - Calling Corey 6:00 - An email/Changes in the kitchen 15:39 - That question I asked you earlier.../Cooking for self 21:08 - Look at all the people on the Twitters 23:03 - Chef cliches 32:55 - OUR twitter friends? No podcast next week, but we'll be back the first week in October. Opening song: Robots In the Garden by Autolux | 9/20/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast Season 2, Episode 1 - Chad Hutchinson and Ann Merrell | Ah yes, the start of our "second season" of podcasts. Our schedule is going to be a little more erratic this time around, but I also think everything is going to go a little smoother now...better content, new guests, and more listener interaction. Guests this time were Chad Hutchinson, who has worked at Gary Danko, Town Hall, and sous'd with me at Pres A Vi. Ann Merrell also made her podcast debut. And of course, Corey and Amy were there too. Topics were: Pres A Vi - 6:30 A New Kind of Restaurant - 11:24 Street Food - 13:30 Everyone Loves Brandon Jew - 23:25 Declining Standards? - 25:14 What is Rustic? - 39:45 What did I Miss? - 46:36 Market Report! - 48:01 | 8/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #14 - Francis Lam and Ginger Pierce | Wow, 14 podcasts. This is the end of "season 1" of the linecook podcast. It's a fun one--recorded over Skype, which caused some serious headaches in the first ten minutes. (I edited all that mess out.) Our guests were Francis Lam from Gourmet Magazine, Ginger Pierce, chef de cusine at 5 Points in NYC, and her boyfriend Preston, the chef de cuisine at Freeman's. There is some hissing on the recording and the what not, but whatever. Topics were street food, brunch, and banging the chonch. You'll see. We'll be back in July with more for you. Thanks for listening. | 6/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #13 - Ryan Farr and Eddie Lau | "Just follow your stomach, and trust your instincts...and lean on your experience and knowledge. And that's why it doesn't matter if it's TGI Fridays or French Laundry." -Ryan Farr If you ever wanted to know what it's like to hang out with a bunch of cooks and chefs, this is what it's like. We talk about a lot of stuff, but mostly it's just a bunch of guys chatting over drinks together. This one is one my personal favorites. The crew was Eddie, Ryan, Matty Conway, Corey Nead, and Eddie Dick. And a special call-in from Amy Brown! | 6/1/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #12 - Sebo. Michael Black and Danny Dunham | "When you do what you do because you love to do it, people pick up on that." -Michael Black When we left Sebo on Friday night, we were buzzing. (literally and figuratively.) Listening to Mike and Danny talk was interesting, and funny, and informative. It was a big crew: Mike, Danny, Natalie Trousdale, Speez, Goose, Corey, and me. They were very gracious, providing food (medai heads, a half tray of uni!) and the drinks. This podcast is largely un-edited, except for a chunk at the end that sounded distorted. There is the sound of the hood in the background, and a lot of glasses clinking and slamming. Whatever. Topics covered: sushi, cooking, tradition, etc. Intro music is "Sarah" by Diplo | 5/24/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #11 - The NPA and Wolfgang Weber (Spume) | Wow, what a change. Kevin Kelley and Wolfgang Weber came out to podcast with us, and we had our first non bourbon and beer soaked podcast. Sadly, Amy had to miss this one, so Corey and I hung out with the boys, talked wine, and had some laughs. Topics covered were all things wine, organics, and why crocs suck. Audio quality is very nice, so I think our recording troubles are over. (knock on wood) Next week we head to Sebo late night to chat with Michael Black--our first off site podcast. The following week is hopefully the Ryan Farr/Eddie Lau re-record, and following that should be our East Coast-Skype recording. Then things get wacky for me (weddings, time off, etc) and for Corey (baby!) so we'll see what happens. | 5/17/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #10 - Violet | So after 2 weeks of podcasting and subsequent corrupt file failures, we had a win--courtesy of Ms. Violet Blue. She brought by her mac, and recorded along with me. Thank god. My files came out wonky and distorted in parts. Hers came out crisp and clear. So here we are--podcast #10 is finally published. Ben came along with Vi, and Corey and Amy were in the house as well. We're building an exciting podcast schedule--re-recording last week's with Ryan Farr and Eddie Lau should be especially good. Next week we return to our simple 1 mic setup--because it works. Wolfgang Weber and Kevin Kelley will be in the house. Comments and questions are always welcome. linecook415@gmail.com, @linecook on twitter | 5/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #9 - In Response to "I Was Wrong" | This podcast features the return of Matty Conway, along with Corey and Amy. The main topic is the blog I wrote last week called "I Was Wrong", which elicited some strong reactions. We also cover foie gras. We recorded using 2 usb mics for the first time, which ended up being a bit of a disaster. The sound quality really sucks this time. You can hear our dinner cooking in the background though. The music is "Hybrid Moments" by The Misfits. | 4/18/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #8 - Your Emails | Ah yes, our return. We built up a lot of emails, so this podcast was focused on answering them. Topics covered were Mission Street Food, Healthy SF, and the correlation between savory and pastry menus. We also rant on twitter, facebook, etc. Our intro music playlist: No MusicNewlyweds - Boom BipBridge - Amon TobinCan't Seem To Find Him - Barry WhiteLa La Love You - The PixiesSan Francisco Nights - People Under the StairsPolice Truck - Dead Kennedy's Electric Shake - Be Your Own Pet knife resources from Aaron Margulis: http://shop.niimi.okayama.jp/kajiya/en/index_e.html http://www.japanesechefsknife.com/ | 4/11/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #7 - Things Get Rowdy | Wow, this one gets wacky. Matt Conway, bartender at Nopa stopped by for our first 4 person podcast. We chatted about Michael Bauer, answered some emails, and told someone to f**k off for the first time. Matty was slurring by the end of it all. It's a fun listen. | 3/28/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #6 - Speez. | For the first time both Corey and Amy couldn't make it out, but luckily Sarah was able to fill in. Sarah is a manager at Nopalito, Ponder's girlfriend, and our good friend. We talk about the medium rare to medium debate and re-visit the top and bottom 5. We need to have her stop by on a regular basis. | 3/26/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #5 - Notes | Ah yes, podcast #5. We got a lot of emails this week, so instead of covering one topic, we covered several. You get to hear Dylan show up to my apartment, my phone vibrating, and Corey flushing the toilet again. It's loud-ish, and clocks in around 1:07. There will be no podcast next week, but we should be back to recording the following week. Email us at linecook415@gmail.com | 3/14/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #4 - Confidence, Failure, and Farm to Table Restaurants | I guess what's most interesting about this podcast is that it came together so organically. The whole "confidence in the kitchen" conversation came up just by me asking "how was your week?" This is our longest podcast, clocking in at 80+minutes. It's also our loudest, so be sure to turn your volume down a bit before you hit play. email us at linecook415.gmail.com ps did I really say "citizens of earth" in this podcast? wtf? | 3/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPodcast #3 - Notes | This podcast was recorded on Friday, February 27th, in my kitchen. Again. Amy and Corey were my guests again, and we talked about nothing in particular. Topics included: Corey's birthdayBoulevard RestaurantAziza RestaurantSaying "podcast" far too many timesWeirdest CutYour emails and comments answered The sound of traffic going by is loud in the background. | 3/3/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitLinecook415 Podcast #2 - Culinary School | This podcast was recorded on Friday, February 20th, again at my house. My guests were Amy Brown, pastry chef at Nopa, and Corey Nead, sous chef at Nopa. The topic was culinary school, and the go/dont go debate. It's pretty f*****g long...we didn't keep track of the time. My new microphone picked up a lot of noise, like our hands moving on the table, my iphone alerting me about new emails, and the sound of us gulping down bourbon. We're working on it. | 2/21/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Informative and Inspiring
This is a really helpful guide to people like me who are interested in breaking into the professional food industry. They cover a lot of information in a very dynamic way (there might not be a set structure, but the topics evolve out of one another). Not only informative, it's also extremely funny. These are just normal people getting together to talk about their world, yet it makes me want to be a part of that world more with every podcast. A real must for aspiring chefs.
A great podcast, probably the best I have heard on cooking and food and the restaurant life....
Great podcast about food and cooking and the restaurant life. These lovable rascals will keep you entertained and informed. Some rough talk but it's all in fun.
Living the life...
This podcast is the lives of real professional cooks and chefs everywhere. It's free flowing, and honest. I have never gotten through a podcast without being able to identify with the hosts as another professional in the industry. If you want to hear the stories from the kitchen, this is the answer for you. I warn you that REAL kitchens can get wild, and a little bit raw. If you offend easily this might not be for you.
